Marigolds

No flower garden seems complete without this fine old-fashioned garden plant with its brilliant display of 



yellow and orange flowers. They are most effective in the fall and are often in full bloom when most of the other 



annuals are past and gone. The African or tall growing varieties listed below and illustrated in color on page 79 



are a decided improvement over the older strains. In color and form they are unsurpassed for garden decoration.

Sweet Pea — Crimson King 



This superb new variety is, we believe, 

 the finest crimson sweet pea yet offered. 

 The rich deep crimson color is of a distinctive 

 shade that makes it instantly noticeable. The 

 plants are of strong vigorous growth and pro- 

 duce abundantly a profusion of beautiful 

 long stemmed sprays. The flowers are per- 

 fectly placed on strong, stiff stems and are 

 seemingly always properly spaced. There is 

 no distinguishing difference in color between 

 the standard and wings and the flowers seem 

 to be free from sunburn and wind scald. 

 We urge you to try this splendid variety; we 

 are sure you will be delighted with it. (See 

 further description, page 96) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; 

 M Lb. $1.75 



Sweet Pea — Miss California 



This new Spencer Sweet Pea was granted 

 an Award of Merit by the British National 

 Sweet Pea Society in 1924. The general color- 

 effect is a rich beautiful salmon pink of a dis- 

 tinctly new shade. The flowers are beautifully 

 waved and frilled and borne in fours on long, 

 stout stems. The plants are exceptionally 

 vigorous. As a cut flower for interior decora- 

 tion this variety compels admiration because 

 of its charming color both in daylight or under 

 artificial light. A truly magnificent variety 

 for either exhibition or garden decoration. 

 Pkt. 25c. 



Statice — Sinnuata 



An easily grown annual which is very 

 desirable for use in rock gardens or as a border 

 plant. The flowers are borne in racemes on 

 long graceful stems and may be cut and dried 

 like everlastings; for this purpose they 

 should be dried in a cool and shady place 

 hung up by the stems to keep their natural 

 shape. (See further description, page 93) 



Mixed. A choice mixture in shades of blue, 



pink, yellow and white. Pkt. 10c. SwEET PEA( Miss Calif0RN1A
